e-life was a nightmare but it was what seemed easiest to do when we got into our new villa where the fibre optic cable had been laid. Unless you have this - I think you can just whistle for it basically! There is a separate company that needs to come out to lay the cable to your house and they just will not coordinate with etisalat (this is according to a friend who gave up and got the satellite dish and super slow internet standard package). We had our own problems though with the surveyor taking the wrong routing code so that when the engineers came they couldn't set anything up. three times it took of going to etisalat and each time we had to start as if it was a new order so that none of the problems were noted. You can imagine my response when the second set of engineers just walked out saying "wrong routing code". I guess if you have the right one then you won't encounter the probs that we did. They were also very unhelpful about setting up the wireless through the house so we had to get a separate person to come out and paid an extra 1500 dirhams to have wireless boosted up through our house.
Good luck with it hope you have a smoother experience.

I don't understand your response, what does pampas grass have to do with location of E life service? Etisalat likes alternative lifestyles? <em>edited by AnonDubai on 09/02/2011</em>

shaks, we will never get the cable, they seem only interested in putting it in non-local areas. I wonder why?probably because we do not have enough pampas grass

I got a call on my cell phone from an e life salesman asking if I was interested in changing our shamil for e life. He gave me a list of advantages. I told him I would ask my DH and come back to him. When I did he asked for our residence tel number and location ( Sharjah) and he informed me there was no optic fiber in our area and he had no clue when it would be installed. Why didn't he check it out before calling ???...only in Dubai

WOW Thanks so much for your detailed write up. I doubt we will get a cable laid in our piece of desert, we are still waiting for them to waterproof the box down the road that stores all the telephone cables. It will soon be 11 years, and after any rainfall we have to call them to come and dry out the box. Next thing I want to ask you, with e-life, how do you get connections in all rooms (tv, phone etc)...I just don't understand how it works, really thick here. I am pretty smart with some things, like setting up wireless internet and printers etc, but I just dont get how this system works.
